I was looking into the Alan Turing and his Turing test as he proposed and reading some books. I feel skeptical regarding the fact that we have even reached at the level of Artificial Intelligence. It feels like we have not created a Turing machine yet.

    The idea with Turing machine is that anything a Turing machine can do, a computer can also do. It is a mathematical construct representing a computer. He used it to prove that some problems can’t be solved with computation alone (halting problem is one of these), thus proving there’s fundamental limitations to computing.

    Turing test is mostly an interesting thought experiment. Don’t read too much into it.

      well I am a computer science student and AI is quite trending subsection of CS so I wanna be really educated so that I don’t get fooled by tech bros
